Good to hear that the MoD is planning to spend its limited cash on something useful for once.
11 months now since AirTanker were identified as the preferred bidder for the FSTA programme. How much longer will the programme drag on before the RAF receives its long-overdue VC10/TriStar replacement?
If the right decision had been made 10 years ago before all the nonsense of the PFI absurdity, there would be a couple of dozen A310 MRTTs in service in the AT/AAR role by now....
Good luck to all those off to the North West Frontier - hope the UK does better than last time.
